It has been a tough few weeks. A girl in our City was abducted and they found her body a few days ago. Thank God for our amazing Police Force, the man (highly educated, married and had a job of great prestige) was caught and he is being changed with 1st degree murder charges of 2 woman as well as 4 other charges (and I believe...more will follow). I pray that God would comfort the the families. God, please bring justice!

Next week we will all be looking forward to some chicken or turkey (after all this red meat)! For more meal plans go to "I'm am Organizing Junkie's Blog". There are usually over 500 meal plans posted after hers, using her "Mr Linkey" feature. So inspiring! I looked through a few of them and found these:

Hoppin Johnnie (with some changes to suit our family)

This is DELICIOUS and even the fussy eater of our family liked it. Because we had eaten a large meal at noon, we only ate this with a Baguette for supper. I think it would be nice eaten rolled up in a soft tortilla as well. YUM...

Ingredients
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 (18 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken bouillon or chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/2 Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender.

  2. Stir in black-eyed peas, chicken bouillon, rice, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper.

  3. Bring mixture to a boil; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (and no peeking....I simmered on lowest heat possible for 15 minutes).

  4. Serve with additional crushed red pepper.

Meal Plan for the week
I have been meal planning for years now but was Inspired by this Blog to post it to my Blog each week and share some recipes that I am using.

Monday - Cilantro & Lime Chicken with tortillas and peas

Tuesday - Shepard's Pie with green salad

Wednesday - Calazone's with raw veggies and dip

Thursday - Chicken and veggies in the Crockpot

Friday - Pancakes (Yes, pancakes! We all love having them for supper.)

Saturday - Hoppin' Johnnie and left over pork with corn and salsa on the side

Sunday - Spaghetti and Salad

I have arranged the meals to fall on these nights so the kid's like a meal at least 1 out of 2 nights in a row! But, I am flexible to change up the order depending on time allowances for cooking or my mood.


I don't plan breakfast at our house. Each of us fend for ourselves! Son usually has those little packets of Hot Oatmeal. Daughter usually has a non breckfast type food like a cheese melt or a piece of fruit. Husband has yogurt and a muffin (or something along those lines) and I have whatever (English muffin, egg, or yogurt) but hardly ever cereal. (I have TMJ and most cereals hurt my jaw. I used to wear a special night guard that helped me out with TMJ but this past Fall my Dog got it and decieded it eat it! We don't have "benifit" with husbands job, so I have yet to replace that $350. little thing. It's one of those "eventually" purchases...)!

Through the week the kids and husband all pack lunches. I usually eat left overs of some kind.

So there you have it. Any plans for what you are eating next week?
